Hannah Geller is a psychotherapist based on the Upper West Side in New York City. She specializes in helping children, teens, and adults feel better and excel in school, work, and relationships. She believes in working with the whole person, accounting for individual neurology, family and community factors, and lifetime events in assessment and diagnosis. Her particular areas of therapeutic expertise include anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and learning difference. She is particularly interested in helping people navigate changes throughout the lifespan. Ms. Geller is trained in adult and child psychoanalysis, as well as CBT, DBT, ACT, and Gottman method therapies. Before becoming a psychotherapist, Ms. Geller worked as a corporate lawyer, and she has a particular interest in working with law students, lawyers, and their significant others.

She then completed postgraduate psychotherapy training at Metropolitan Institute for Psychoanalytic Therapy with a focus on children and adolescents, and worked in the Metropolitan Center for Mental Health as a psychotherapist. Ms. Geller then worked at Bellevue Hospital as a psychotherapist in the Outpatient Psychiatric Department, and continued on to adult and child psychoanalytic training at the Psychoanalytic Association of New York, affiliated with NYU Langone Medical Center.
